What'* This?
President Cleveland, in his
emergency message to congress
read yesterday, now asks that the
treasury department be "author-
ized" by law to go into the bond
issue business on a more exten-
sive scale than formerly.
What's this!
And pray, why is it necessary
to pass a law to authorize the per-
petuation of the bond outrages
which have been resorted to with-
out regard to law! The $50,000,-
000 bond issue of January, 1894,
and the second issue of the same
amount in November of the same
year, was saddled upon the tax-
payers of the country in the face
of the declaration of the judiciary
committee of the honse of repre-
sentatives tnat the proceeding was
illegal and unauthorized.

the western train brigands asking

signed the report of the sub-com-
mittee which appeared exclusively
in the Dallas News today and will
send it into the house tomorrow.
The three populists will send in
two reports among themselves and
may be three. Mr. Cureton wants
to sign the majority report, ex-
cept that he dissents from the re-
buke clause excluding Davis from
the privileges of the house and it
is probable that he and Mr. Foster
will send in that kind of a peti-
tion. Mr. Cocke wants to handle
Davis in the mildest manner and
put some of the censure on the
other gentlemen connected with
the matter. Thus there will be
two populist reports and if Mr.
Foster should get up one of his
own there will be tnree.
